🐷 Pork Ribs

⏱️ Prep: 20m  |  ⏲️ Cook: 3h

Ingredients:

For the ribs:

  • 2 racks of pork ribs
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Smoked sea salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp each: dried rosemary, oregano, sage

For the mayonnaise sauce:

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions:

Prepare the ribs:

  1. Preheat the oven to 135°C. While it heats, peel the membrane off the back of the 2 racks of ribs, if it is still on.
  2. Rub the racks all over with 2 tbsp olive oil.
  3. Season with smoked sea salt, pepper, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 2 tsp dried thyme and 1 tsp each of rosemary, oregano and sage.
  4. Wrap each rack individually in foil, sealing the edges so the steam stays in.
  5. Bake for 2.5-3 hours, until the meat gives when you press it.

Make the mayonnaise sauce:

  1. Once the ribs are in the oven, whisk together 1 cup mayonnaise, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Refrigerate for the rest of the cook.

Finish the ribs:

  1. Unwrap the racks and grill or broil them for 3-5 minutes, until the edges caramelise.
  2. Brush with the sauce for the last minute.
  3. Slice between the bones and serve with the extra sauce.
